St. John's Shout Out!
American Flag Challenge Coin Holder
Most Worshipful Grand Master Ronald P. Ferraro has three very special American Flag Challenge Coin Holders that
he has crafted, and all brothers attending any of his Official Grand Visitations, have been receiving a special
ticket. If the visit is in your District, you get one ticket; if you are from a different District, you receive
two tickets. The other half of your tickets are placed in separate District Jugs, and the winners of the
Challenge Coin Holders will be drawn at the end of the year (one winner from each District). The tickets for each
district are a different color.
Additionally, MWGM Ferraro is making some special drawings for some special gifts throughout his year. The
first of these special drawings has just been made . . . . . . .
